Customers along Beth Stacey Boulevard and Homestead Road between Beth Stacey Boulevard and Alabama are without service.\u00a0 This includes the Presbyterian Homes, Ibis Landing, Copperhead Communities.\u00a0 Also affected are the Business District (Winne Dixie, Publix, Microtel, and Quality Inn) as well as the Sheriff Station and Hope Hospice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crews are on site and the break has been isolated. Restoration of services is expected by 8PM.&nbsp; Once services are restored, water samples will be collected and taken to a Florida Department of Health-certified laboratory.&nbsp; All affected customers will be under a Boil Water Advisory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FGUA provides a Boil Water Notice Advisory under Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requirements in the event that water pressure drops below 20 pounds per square inch in the service area.\u00a0 In the meantime, the FGUA advises that all water used for drinking or cooking be boiled. A rolling boil for a period of one minute is sufficient to ensure the water is free of possible bacteria or viruses. Alternatively, bottled water may be used.<br>For additional information or updates, FGUA customers may contact the FGUA Lehigh Acres Utility Systems Customer Service Office at (239) 368-1615 or visit the FGUA website at\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fgua.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.fgua.com<\/a>&lt;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fgua.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.fgua.com\/<\/a>> the Outages and Notices Page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) has issued a notice of an 8-inch water main break due to a third-party bore contractor on Friday, September 22nd, 2023.\u00a0 Approximately 1,941 customer&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":58761,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,57,32],"tags":[2554],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58760"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58760"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58762,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58760\/revisions\/58762"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
